i heard this for thge first time in the legendary "magic village" underground music club in manchester 1969 - i was instantly transported 3,000 miles to new york and i didn't need acid to get there!
When i first heard this it was like a movie playing in my head, i would have never heard of the velvet underground or lou reed if it wasn;t for the collab with metallica, man im glad they did it.
whenever i feel like a creep for listening to this sort of thing, i remind myself that we've been reading more f-ed up stories in school since like seventh grade. the catbird seat, anyone?
@theluckyfr0g OH buddy, wait till you get older and start reading those giant books and seeing those 'boring' adult movies. Things are only going to get more and more 'f-ed' up and eventually it'll be the only thing of interested.
Haha, I don't think I've watched a movie rated under R since I was 12. I just avoid the violent ones out of personal taste. As for the books, although the ones we read in school are unbelievable sometimes, there is a whole nother set they would never let us see. (Lolita, and Venus in Furs are referenced often in music.) I could read those, but I'm not going to. Too messed up, lol.
Play this for someone squared straight, the "Waldos", and they'll report back hearing the story with some random music in the background.
Play this for someone "experienced", and they'll talk of hearing a driving, saturated tube filled, rocking, jamming dirge, and maybe remember hearing some guy's voice going off about something in the background.
You can force yourself to "be" one or the other by killing the left or right audio channel.
i can imagine the song o.O

Reed wrote the story. It prefigures his recent ridiculous "work" with Metallica.

With the best will in the world, & as an avid VU lover, this is simply not a good song. Nice story, wrong format.

Waldo Jeffers había llegado al límite
Era ya mediados de agosto, lo que significaba que había estado separado de Marsha más de dos meses
Dos meses, y todo lo que podía enseñar eran tres cartas manoseadas y dos conferencias muy caras.
